Muayad
I was in my room trying to fold my blanket for almost thirty minutes now but i couldn't, since Ya Nuaimat left that was one of my flaws, i just can't clean up my room that well like she does or make up my bed like she does for me, suddenly this feeling of awarness dropped in me, it felt like the same presence i felt some months ago in the company that i felt it was Nuaimat,
But i have already known she will never make herself present here not even for me and that is hurting, i just hissed and threw the blanket on the bed and decided to head for some fresh air, on coming out from the room i headed towards the stairs.
NO ONES POV
Nuaimat walked in straight inside and on opening the door she came into the sitting room, her eyes fell on her father and his wife, they all turned to her and at the time she removed her sun glasses,
"You" shouted Khadija,
"Nuaimat" called her father standing up,
She averted her eyes from her father, just when she looked up and saw Muayad, she smiled a real smile and said "you felt my presence i know"
He smiled shaking his head, she placed her handbag on the nearby side table, and meant to head to him, "Nuaimat please dear" said her father, she stopped in her track took in a deep breath and let it out,
She walked toMuayad and gave him a hug, with that she pulled him back up, and headed straight to where her room was, he pushed open the door and entered, the room was as neat as it as she has left it, she let go of Muayad's hand and ran inside, "Khairiya's" she asked,
"No" he replied, she smiled a wide smile and begun to look around, her dressing mirror was filled up with the same items she left, she was so shocked to see everything was just the amount she recalled she left, she picked up a bow ribboned purple bottled of a perfume with the name G.Armand,
She sniffed the air a bit and turned to her brother, "..you...you never used this, but it's on you", he nodded
"This was your favorite among my collections" she said and then turned to the long cupboard containing small boxes of wrist watches, cuff links and sun glasses,
"And this" she said picking up an open box of Rolex logo shaped cuff links "they were always you likeable links and this" she added picking out a rado silver wrist watch, "why, why, you didn't use any of this, i..... i thought i told you to, i thought i said you should use them" she said turning to him,
"You did, but i couldn't, the moment you left, they became sacared for me to use" he said now leaned on the wall with his hands folded, she sighed and placed them back,
"I guess my closet hasn't being alerted with" she said sitting on the bed side
"No"
"You kept it clean, all this while, why" she asked looking at her feet,
"I kept on believing you will turn up one day, at first i was bad at it, but i had to learn" he said sadly
"Oh" she exclaimed calmly
"Yeah, oh, i shouldn't have right, i shouldn't have waited, i shouldn't have hoped, i shouldn't have believed, since you thought i have moved on" he said halve yelling, she smiled and stood up, she walked to a particular spot on the room and stood,
"Do you know the most hardest thing i have ever done till date" she asked with tears in her eyes, he shook his head,
"It was pulling away from you when you hugged me the day i was told to leave, it was on this spot, and then walking out, leaving you here crying" she said as the tears ran down her cheeks, he looked up at her tears welling up in his eyes, he appeared soft,
"I didn't call you because i wanted you to move on, i felt calling you was going to burden you up and pull you away from your aim, i accept i was selfish for thinking you will move on, but never have i for once stopped thinking about you, so many times i call to hear you say Hello and then hiss and drop the call, believe me that alone kept me going, i have already known you are a huge part of my life and i believe me, you are still that huge part the very day i saw you in Qatar, am twenty but i agree i was foolish for making you distance from me, am sorry" she said, and at that moment he hugged her as she cried "am sorry Ayad, am sorry brother, you will always be my blood, a huge part of me, am sorry, please forgive me"
"It's Owkey Aima, am sorry" he said patting her, it took them almost five minuets to stop,
"I wanna tell you something" she said as he daps her tears with his Hankee,
"Yes"
"It's about Hamood, i want to collect whats ours from him" she said, Muayad regarded her for some seconds and said
"isnt that too soon, i mean yes it's our right but won't we stir up some commotions in that family, i mean Zohra and Zaid didn't make that move for years, why us"
"I know but i want him to pay, to bring him down" she said
"Why" he asked taken aback
There she told him all what she heard, Muayad was silent for more than a minute, he then sighed and said
"Zohra is right Hamood is indeed dangerous, i mean he killed his uncle and made our mum disappeared when he was young when he was yet to have all this, then how bad will he be when he has it already and the two of us will want to collect it, our lives may be in danger"
"Please brother come with me, i will explain my plans in due course, just come with me" she said, soon Muayad gave up and decided to follow her back to Abuja that evening, she helped pack up and the two came downstairs to meet Asad, Khairiya and their parents,
"Ya Nuaimat" shouted Khairiya and ran to hug her, Nuaimat also hugged her,
"Is it really you, i mean, it can't be, someone wake me up" she shouted excitedly, "calm down Kay, am the one, look at you, you two have grown" said Nuaimat pulling Khairiya's cheek, Khairiya blushed,
"Are you leaving, already please don't go, please stay, Ya Muayad has never being the same without you, i missed you too, i dont know if Asad misses you, but i missed you, i can always recall, even when Mum was mean to you, you always teach me my home work, you use to buy me candies and always tease me about my missing tooth, you always remember our birthdays, i and Asad, and you will gift us, i know our mum wronged you, but please for us stay, please" cried Khairiya all of a sudden, Nuaimat was shocked by the girl's outburst, she gently pulled the girl to her body and begun to pat her gently on the back, everyone watch quietly,
"Kay, i have something important to do, but i promise i will keep in touch with you, for all this years i thought i was the only one who thinks of those days, well now i know you do too, and am glad, you are my sister Khairiya, i love you, and when am done, i promise i will be by your side" she said,
"Promise, will Tanisha be with you, Ya Muayad showed me her picture, will you tell her am her Aunt, i want to meet her, will she love me, will you tell your cousins am your sister" she asked, Nuaimat chuckled and said "Ofcourse Khairiya, i will, Tanisha loves to have lots of Aunties, and let me tell you a secret about that girl, if you have a make-up kit, then you will be BFFs for real, she like make up parties" the two giggled,
"So tell me, what do you want for now, a sorry gift for going today" asked Nuaimat
"Anything" she asked eyes popping out, and Nuaimat nodded, "i want a mac book system" she said,
"There are two types, the 36GB and the 160GB, i will, send it down tomorrow, the 160GB, by Allah's grace" said Nuaimat, Khairiya gave a shout of Yippy and hugged Nuaimat,
Khairiya offered To take Nuaimat's handbag and Muayd's bag to the car, Asad just sat looking at Nuaimat, Nuaimat gave him a don't be ridiculous look and motion to him to follow her out, "when will you come home" asked her dad all of a sudden she stopped on the stop turned to him and said "Never"
"Am sorry" he said as tears welled up his eyes, "i forgive you, but not to let you into my life" she said and with that she headed out.
Outside she met up with her two siblings, the three talked and laughed for a bit before Muayd came out, "hey Kay" called Nuaimat,
"Yes"
"You can have this, you and Asad may need some of the things inside" said Nuaimat as Muayad gave her the key, she handed it to Khairiya. Soon the two where at the back of the Hummer heading to the Airport.
On landing she switched on her phone to see countless texts from Zohra, Ubayd and Zaid, the chauffer was already in the airport to get them, first they dropped off Muayad in his apartment and then she was driven home in time for dinner, "where the hell have you being, i have being freaking worried" yelled Zohra coming out as Nuaimat came out of the car, Nuaimat quickly uncapped her cold bottled drink and poured it on Zohra's face, "what......was....that..... for" asked Zohra gasping for breath,
"You were on fire ZO" said Nuaimat and roared into laughter, Zohra screamed and started to chase Nuaimat, Nuaimat in her high heels took off and entered the house with Zohra hot on her heels,
Just when Nuaimat miss a step and she luckily fell on Ya Zaid who she caught off balance and guess what the two fell, him on the ground, she on him, they locked eyes for some seconds just then she heard Zohra's screams, Nuaimat stuck her tongue at him and quickly stood up and ran off.
After tucking in Tanisha in her room, Nuaimat told Zohra all about Muayad, and Zohra was glad the two were now cool,
"I feel like eating icecream" said Nuaimat,
"Ya Zaid home, its past 10, he will freak out" said Zohra, Nuaimat stood up and entered the closet she soon came out dressed in black Abaya with red lacings, then a tied veil on her head,
"Well" are you going" she asked rubbing a red lipstick,
"Ya Zaid will kill" said Zohra,
"I will like to see him try killing this two beautiful sisters of his, get dress i will be driving and guess which car, his red Lamborghini" said Nuaimat
Zohra was mouth agape, "oh yeah, the very gift from the Oman king" said Nuaimat with a mischievous smile,
Zohra laughed and said "the keys are in his wing, plan failed Nuaimat", now it was Nuaimat's turn to laugh and in the process leaving Zohra taken aback,
"I have the key Z, one thing with me i don't finalize things without plans" said Nuaimat now waving the key, "how" asked Zohra shocked,
"Get dressed" said Nuaimat with a wink.
Some minutes later, the two had to make sure Zaid was in his study, so with that they head out, Nuaimat lead them to the car park the Lamborghini occupied and within some minutes they were out of the gate.
They both switched off their phones and set to have the nights of their lives, first they got their icecream and from there they head to the cinema to watch a one hour movie, from the cinema, they went to silver bird, after spending countless cash on different things, two and halve hours later they decided to drive home that was to four.
On reaching home, Nuaimat parked and the two decided to use the back door, Nuaimat was the first to open the door, and on opening the door she met with Zaid,
Confused on what to do, close the door and ran off leaving Zohra perplexed, Zohra opened the door and saw him, she too ran off without even closing the door, Nuaimat has already entered through the front door and was now running up towards their wing, on entering Zohra's room she entered the closet and hid behind the coats, panting,
Zohra inturn entered and closed the door to the main wing, and tiredly lay in the sitting room and drifted and begun ZONIN.
